Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 13, 2020, Iterum Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has fixed the close of business (5pm Eastern Time) on August 5, 2020, as the record date for its planned rights offering.  As previously disclosed, the Company had agreed to undertake a rights offering of subscription rights to purchase additional units in connection with the Company’s January 2020 private placement of units consisting of 6.500% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 and Limited Recourse Royalty-Linked Subordinated Notes.    

The Company anticipates that the subscription period for the planned rights offering will begin on or about August 11, 2020, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and continue for a period of at least 20 calendar days.  The Company expects to announce additional details about the planned rights offering in the near future.

A registration statement relating to the planned rights offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) but has not yet become effective.  The planned rights offering will be made pursuant to such registration statement and a prospectus to be filed with the SEC prior to the commencement of the planned rights offering.  The securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.  The information herein, including the expected timing and terms of the planned rights offering, is not complete and is subject to change.  The Company reserves the right to cancel or terminate the planned rights offering at any time.  

Further information regarding the planned rights offering is set forth in the press release issued in connection with this announcement, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.   The planned rights offering will be made only by means of a prospectus, and this announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities.
